Can we believe these benchmarks though. I mean doom 3 hasn't even been released nither has the board so how can they have reliable benchmarks:confused:

This time of year for the gaming / hardware people is like Christmas come early. The time around E3 is always bursting with new technology and software, games and gadgets, so companies pull together beforehand and organise some things to show the public.

Yes, we can believe these benchmarks, as many people are now getting access, albeit limited, to the new FX cards and to a specially made Doom 3 benchmark. If you had a look around other hardware sites, you'll see more of the same.

ok now we know the benchmarks are reliable does this mean that nvidia don't want to show benchmarks for other games?? maybe open gl or direct 3d games favour the 9800 pro. Anyone have any info on this:confused:

Maybe, maybe not.

They would have choose Doom III because many people are looking forward to it.

That and the fact that Doom II is going to be pushing the boundaries of current day gaming, and will push hardware more than current games do. Why not show how 'future-proof' the card is by showing how much better it works with future games?
